Welcome to Collaborative working

Cost pressures and the drive for more innovation have led an increasing number of organisations in the public sector to look at ways of working together and with the voluntary and private sectors.

Whilst there are a number of potential advantages to be gained from the pooling of resources and ideas, there are also potential pitfalls for the organisations involved.

Our public sector team has experience of advising on a wide range of collaborative working agreements involving public or voluntary and private sector partners.

We have worked on a series of pioneering schemes which have helped to bring about efficiencies in public sector organisations whilst ensuring continued expertise and best practice.

We deal with issues including formation of new corporate and trading structures, risk and liability management, governance arrangements, insurance, performance, flexibility and cost efficiencies.

We are also experts in advising on the practical aspects of collaborative working, such as employee transfers, pensions and HR matters, property issues and arrangements with sub-contractors and suppliers.

Our aim is to make sure that everyone knows where they stand when it comes to collaborative working, ensuring excellent end results and ensuring that your interests as a client are protected.
